  <description>Any nonlawful creature within the area of a dictum spell suffers the following ill effects. HD Effect Equal to caster level Deafened Up to caster level -1 Staggered, deafened Up to caster level -5 Paralyzed, staggered, deafened Up to caster level -10 Killed, paralyzed, staggered, deafened The effects are cumulative and concurrent. A successful Will save reduces or eliminates these effects. Creatures affected by multiple effects make only one save and apply the result to all the effects. Deafened  The creature is deafened for 1d4 rounds. Save negates. Staggered  The creature is staggered for 2d4 rounds. Save reduces the staggered effect to 1d4 rounds. Paralyzed  The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes. Save reduces the paralyzed effect to 1 round. Killed  Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed. Save negates. If the save is successful, the creature instead takes 3d6 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +25). Furthermore, if you are on your home plane when you cast this spell, nonlawful extraplanar creatures within the area are instantly banished back to their home planes. Creatures so banished cannot return for at least 24 hours. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creatures hear the dictum or not. The banishment allows a Will save (at a -4 penalty) to negate. Creatures whose Hit Dice exceed your caster level are unaffected by dictum.</description>
